GASP!!

OK, on second reflection, she's a bit busty, which is reflective of how I've seen her portrayed recently.

Bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD Snowbird! Looks nothing like her. Just some generic babe in a poorly realized version of the costume.

Yeah, I don't have high hopes of the painters getting her eyes right at all.  Such an important part of her look.

Snowbird is as disappointing as Guardian was. Phooey!

Blog update.  Fin Fang Foom goes on sale next month already!  Next is Cloak and Dagger in May, then the specials schedule gets a little murky.

Oh, yeah, and Crimson Dynamo:

That Crimson Dynamo has a bit of a "Predator" look to it -- I can't quite visualize the Crimson Dynamo's mask/helmet detail, but that doesn't seem right.  Looks WAY more like a Predator variant than the Crimson Dynamo to me.

Need to find some images . . .

EDITED TO ADD:

Found some images -- mask looks "close enough," but the overall helmet shape is definitely more "Predator" than "Crimson Dynamo":

The helmet should have more of a Darth Vader-esque shape to it . . . looks like the sculptor went full-Predator.

Crimson Dynamo was never among my faves anyway, so I have no qualms about passing on this lackluster sculpt.

Now if they were to do a Don Heck version of the Crimson Dynamo that would be a different matter!

Whoa! An Ikaris figure, I need that one! :)

I don't know if I said it in the AF thread but I find it odd how sexualized Snow Bird is lately. She always seemed to be the least hoochie female character possible to me.
